The images are being shared with a caption in Hindi that translates to, "(This man) fell in love with his own daughter and got married, there was love between the two for four years. Even the devil will be ashamed for what he did. Which era is now going on? I do not believe in Kali Yuga, a more terrible era is going on." (Original text in Hindi: अपनी सगी बेटी से प्यार हुआ और शादी करली, 4 साल से दोनों के बीच प्रेम संबंध था। शैतान को भी शर्म आए ऐसा काम किया है, यह कौन सा युग चल रहा है कलयुग तो मैं नहीं मानता उससे भी बड़ा भयंकर युग चल रहा है।)
